I am undecided on the fins in red too.. I would probably leave the red on for a while to see if they "grow" on you. If not peel them off..

BTW I agree with sixsixfour, a rear wing in dry carbon would look good on your car..

 

I'm not a fan of the fins

 

Really your not a fan of fins? I mean you walk around with two of them every day.

 

Pass

 

I'm not a fin.

 

The Fins were the only team to oppose the Raider's move to Las Vegas.

 

Guys. Let's Fin-ish the derail and keep this on topic.

Steven, yes: you need a CF spoiler.

 

Yes on the CF spoiler, no on the red stripes. IMO they look tacky and like they weren't meant to be there.

 

Yesterday, I added a Ported Throttle Body to the Stingray. All I can say is WOW!!! The Corvette now feel like it's Turbocharged. At 2,500 RPM's the car leaps forward. Plus, throttle response at the accelerator is incredible.

If I'm adding up horsepower, I'm at about 520 hp. It came from the factory at 460 hp.

 

Really?
I've been considering getting the Mamo ported one for the wagon, but ended up pulling the plug on all mods during the last few months.

 

Thought of you when I flew into MCI a few weeks ago. Is there a local 1/4 mile track for you out there? Ever think about taking her down the strip?

 

Buddy, it's good to hear from you-where have you been???? I looked at the Tony Mamo unit but chose one from WeaponX Motorsports. I know the owner of WeaponX, Ben Herndon and chose them because of our history together. Ben puts out a terrific product. I went with a known entity.




Brother, thank you very much! There is a local oval at the Kansas Speedway and a local 1/4 mile that is one hour away in Topeka. It's called Heartland Park.

 

Thanks Steven...
been a rough couple of months...just coming out of the dust now.
Glad you're well and modding!
I will look into WeaponX when the time is right...
I've been told it'll bump the throttle response up...that's probably my only real gripe is how hard you have to hit that peddle to get it to react.

 

So can you get us the hookup at WeaponX... :thief:

 

Poor Anil...
his knees must be so scabbed over by now!

 

Ben Herndon is the owner. Eddie is the sales guy that handles Corvette sales.


The dealership installed the ported throttle body and reset the ECU.

 

Liking the sound of ^^ post.

 

Thanks brother....it's so much fun to drive!

 

My Stingray won it's first hardware (after 3 years)!!! I'm also the President of the Corvette Club of Kansas City. We have our big annual meet yesterday, (Sunday, June 4th).

She won "Best Modified Interior Mod" for all the Carbon Fiber.

 

Steven was the judge too..

 

 

The President of the club won an award........something seems a little fishy here


Congrats!

 

Trophy not made of carbon fiber...


Not impressed



In before Steven mods the trophy

 

Shhhhhhh you've said too much....

 

 

That's awesome, congrats....

 

Conrats!

 

Congrats! Well deserved!!

 

LOL....actually I was the DJ all day long.





I know, I know....actually, it was my idea to have Modified Categories. This year, I added Best Interior, Best Exterior, Best Engine Bay, Best Paint, Best Presentation Mods. Before this, the entire judging was "Show & Shine".




I KNOW DUDE!!! How dare they give me a trophy that's NOT carbon Fiber!!!!




Thanks brother! And thanks to all of you for the "congrats". Since the Modified Category judging was new this year, we had 25 cars out of 100+ Corvettes enter the Modified Category judging. Since I was working (slaving over a hot microphone all day long), I never saw the judging process.

 

Here's pictures of my Stingray at the show....














Here is a picture of my buddy's car who traveled from Lawton, Oklahoma to Kansas City to be in the show. His car won 5 awards!!!! One of the trophies he won was Best in Show.









Here are pictures of our two cars together. His car is named "Tribute". It's in honor of the first Grand Sport from 1963. His is a 2017 Grand Sport in Admiral Blue with Velocity Yellow accents.

 

Needs more Bald Eagle.

 

don't feel ashamed, Steven...I did something similar to put myself through college.


Great pics...your friend's is a bit much, but still nice. Yours is put together so well with the CF and red theme. Not a shock that you won!

 

good lord I really love your wheels. if only there were extra funds laying around those would be next on my to-do list.

 

I'm contemplating them too...
I almost went with those in silver as well last time.

 

Yea, his car is definitely an acquired taste, but it's quite the sight to see in person.




Thanks brother....they really make the car stand out from other Stingrays.


They have them in 3 finishes now!

 

I added a $9.88 mod.....

This red trim on the dash and doors is nice.

 

and affordable!
yeah, i saw that but I'd only want them in silver...I like the contrast on black.

 

They make them in silver too, J !!!!

 

LOL...yes, your color is what I'd want.
Just would have to sell mine first.

 

Added a coat of Blackfire Crystal Seal yesterday.....
